US General Power and Air Tool Drawer Organizer: You're Doing It Wrong!

[@PeterB.-sf6pu]

nice! before they made those, i made a custom one out of wood for my drawer, i used the wasted space underneath to put my air ratchets/air hammer down i. the bottom, still left me enough room that i was able to build a little cubby shelf that holds my air chisel bits, and air drill keys, things like that. great video!

Great tip! I think I may store some batteries below the tools.

Great video. I put one of these in a husky box. After repeating every on of those issues i had to cut 1 1/2 inches off the bottom ( its to tall for husky ). I disagree about its usefulness. Its significantly less than anything comparable. For the wasted space , lay ratchets or other tools. I look at as the value of the tools and the convenience of access vs space used. No matter if you like it or not , this is a great help tutorial.

Thank you for the feedback! I was thinking of laying some batteries on the bottom to help utilize the space better. It’s just not as retrievable as it was with my other storage method. It’s just closer to the sockets. I’m still “living with it” to see if there is a better way.

You have any pictures? I'm going to put this in my husky box as well

I was never a fan of those deep drawers, and I agree about the organizer. I keep my power guns/drivers on a wall rack.

[@DemoDad101]

That’s what I do also. This organizer is a total waste of money.

Lol nailed it on the entertainment side. 😂 That’s what gives me reservations about that drawer. I’d rather store the tools flat in a drawer that’s relevant to their use.

I'm still living with it to see if I like it. I'm going to give it a couple months and see what my opinion is then.

​@DemoDad101 Any more thought on the matter? I have my m12 dremel and ratchet too which this doesn't really include to organize

Well?​@@DemoDad101

This LOOKED like a great idea. It was a NIGHTMARE to put together, and even after done properly, I noted 2 huge drawbacks; 1) All of my Cordless Power Tools have Belt Clips, and once the added thickness of those is taken into account, there's no way to arrange ones tools without them being "Wonky". Second, as you noted, there is a MASSIVE amount of WASTED SPACE left in the drawer once this is inserted. Considering what my 72" Tool Cabinet cost, imo there is ZERO JUSTIFICATION for this amount of wasted and unusable "Real Estate". "Just say NO" to the cost of this, the PAIN to assemble and properly configure it, and all of the otherwise usable space you'll be forfeiting with this "organizer" BAD DESIGN imo!!!

[@DemoDad101]

I completely agree!
